    Hey everyone, first post. I was wondering if someone could help me identify this flower. I work in a camp ground in southern california and have 12 pictures of flowers I havent been able to identify. We'll start with this one.

    I honestly don't think so. I was under the impression this was a california poppy. I've seen them in orange, red, and a cream color. The flower in question is maybe a half inch in diameter and maybe 8 inches off the ground.
